2025 In Writing: Fragrances For Hangovers

Leave a reply

One of my last year’s articles on Fragrantica was about fragrances for hangovers.

I enjoyed writing it immensely, and I absolutely agree with the motto:

“No poem was ever written by a drinker of water.” – Horace

On a more personal note, I quit drinking because alcohol consumption stands in my path toward losing weight.

Still, I will be having Retsina in Greece and Portuguese wine in Germany.

Enjoy!

What Makes A Great Fragrance?

💥Another article on Fragrantica that I nearly overlooked discussed iconic fragrances that have influenced the history of perfumery.

💥”Do something that makes people angry. Have super fans or super haters, but don’t try to be loved by everyone – hate is actually a form of love.” -Jun Lim, Founder, BornToStandOut.

💥Talking about disruptive scents and defying conventions made me think maybe this is the new trend, besides all the lavish, peaceful, glamorous, and harmonious gourmands of this day and age. I stick to my idea that perfumery has the capacity to depict uninvented sweet dishes—chefs may start creating new gourmet dishes based on some very successful fragrances.

💥In my opinion, some fragrances are like toolkits we use when we want to fix things, from the most practical to the most mysterious. But, most of all, they fix all the hidden desires of the heart.

Casa Batlló

Leave a reply

Casa Batlló is a building in the center of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí, and is considered one of his masterpieces.

There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners. – Antoni Gaudi

“Maybe the rumors are right, maybe Gaudi was counselled by a fairy about his high-end innovative, dream-like “curved” architecture. In this respect I am relieved and resolved to keep on talking with the fairies that at times whisper soft and pleasurable words into my ears. ” – fragment from my “Be Like Water” – https://medium.com/blueinsight/be-like-water-c62f5a6b1e17

I am a devout perfume writer, among other things. Very lovely fragrances sometimes ignite the light of lyrics, which is why I started writing poetry a long time ago. 

Two anthologies have included some of my poems: Anthology Volume I: Writings from the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective and Darker Objects.

Two Autumnal Fragrances from Phaedon Paris

Leave a reply

Facebook reminded me of this article from two years ago:
Two Autumnal Fragrances from Phaedon Paris

“I only want five things, five chosen roots.
One is endless love. Two is to see the autumn.
I cannot exist without leaves flying and falling to earth.
Third is the solemn winter, the rain I loved, the caress of fire in the rough cold.
My fourth is the summer, plump as a watermelon.
And fifthly, your eyes.” ~ Pablo Neruda

Even if October is upon us, we have the gift of a long autumn, where every leaf is a flower, and each newly revealed color has been patiently waiting all year.

Quora Answers: How do you complete a poem in any subject matter you are interested in?

1 Reply

Imagination is a tricky thing. It does not breathe words all the time. Sometimes it is alive, and sometimes it is barely breathing.
When I have ideas, I write in a notebook or on my phone. After that, I transferred my thoughts to my blog.
You do not just sit at your desk and start writing a poem.

I love writing. For me, it is like living in a parallel world of my own making. Nevertheless, the walls of this new realm may sometimes appear blurry.

The idea for the following poem hit me when I looked out the window and felt the mellow shine of autumn glistening into the threes.

I don’t want the summer to end

I don’t want the summer to end
That is why I try to suspend
My thoughts of winters and grey
Garnering drops of snow and dismay.

I don’t want the summer to end
That is why I am hand in hand
With clouds and planets blue,
Roses and treasures that have no clue
Of corrupt winds and misty reign
In the apocalypse of rain.

I don’t want the summer to end…

My office is where my notebook is.

It is great to work from various locations, since I love traveling.
And the ideas poured in.

I’ve planned out my next three Fragrantica pieces, a cover letter, a presentation, and a pitch for a new customer. In addition, I’m considering starting a new side hustle that will enable me to travel more.

Reflection Emirates Pride Perfumes

My most recent Fragrantica article is about Reflection from Emirates Pride Perfumes, an estival perfume dedicated to the warmhearted bond between Father and Son.

“I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”
― Umberto Eco

First, I loved the story, as I believe in the strong unseen bond between parents and children, and I am proud to have shared a very strong bond with my father. We were very much alike. He used to call me Iulius, and he instilled in me a strong sense of independence and strength. Even to this day, I keep in mind my father’s wise words and I try to follow his advice: “If you don’t work hard, your luck will dwindle. And the better you work and prepare, the luckier you become.” ; “Always play fair and admit your mistakes. There is nothing to be gained by not admitting failure or defeat, you should acknowledge your shortcomings and become better”…

Reflection’s fragrance story reminded me of the feeling that even if you are in a bad place in the present, you feel warmed up by the memory of a beautiful heavenly place that puts honey on your face. Sweet and warm. Some memories act like heaters for the heart. These are the cherished memories of my time spent with my father.

Is writing a novel a common item on people’s bucket lists? If so, what motivates them to write a novel even though it may not be widely read or enjoyed?

Leave a reply

#Quora #Quoraanswers

I guess it is. It is for me, at least. I have postponed it for later, as writing a novel can take a lot of time and won’t yield significant financial benefits.

What motivates people to write novels?
Maybe having a voice.
Perhaps immortalizing some very loved ones.
Maybe remembering a long-lost world.
I am spinning the yarn of a story that is entirely mine.
